Hear the mellow wedding bells,

Golden bells!

What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!

Hear the tolling of the bells—

Iron bells!

What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!

(Edgar Allan Poe, The Bells)

This is incredible in so many ways

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

I don’t know whether to make Vash’s hair down like this or in his normal hairdo, I just feel it would feel weird with the veil on top. Please help

Edit: Pssst! Over here! I’ve finished this piece (for once I don’t leave a thing as a wip lmao)

As much as I hate generative AI with a passion, yes, other forms of AI are INCREDIBLY HELPFUL and even needed. It's not replacing humans because, well, as unichrome said it would take 500 years so... Yeah, that wouldn't have even been a task given to a human.

Also, many times humans are still needed to verify what computers have done. For example, there's a project (Planet Hunters NGTS) going on whose objective is to identify transiting exoplanets and they use an algorithm (don't know if it's an AI per se) to sift through all the data, but then they need help from citizen scientists to verify the outcome.

Also x2, friendly reminder that Zooniverse exists and that there's PLENTY of scientific projects going on that need an extra hand, and many of them are fun to do! From wildlife observation to exoplanet hunting, just give it a try if you're bored or want to be part of a real science project!

Finally came around to doing another panel redraw with my oil crayons. One of my favourite panels from the series! (Who knows, maybe I'm starting a Trigun panel redraw collection, here's the other one.) Reference panel under the cut:

Am I late to bring this to the party?

Group projects, you say? Caesar was talking about meeting one of these days, might come in handy

🔪 knife stop 🔪

Take a knife or two to complete any tasks you need to finish soon. Reblog to give your mutuals a knife for any group projects you may be working on

I'm a big fan of wizards-as-programmers, but I think it's so much better when you lean into programming tropes.

A spell the wizard uses to light the group's campfire has an error somewhere in its depths, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. The wizard spends a lot of his time trying to track down the exact conditions that cause the failure.

The wizard is attempting to create a new spell that marries two older spells together, but while they were both written within the context of Zephyrus the Starweaver's foundational work, they each used a slightly different version, and untangling the collisions make a short project take months of work.

The wizard has grown too comfortable reusing old spells, and in particular, his teleportation spell keeps finding its components rearranged and remixed, its parts copied into a dozen different places in the spellbook. This is overall not actually a problem per se, but the party's rogue grows a bit concerned when the wizard's "drying spell" seems to just be a special case of teleportation where you teleport five feet to the left and leave the wetness behind.

A wizard is constantly fiddling with his spells, making minor tweaks and changes, getting them easier to cast, with better effects, adding bells and whistles. The "shelter for the night" spell includes a tea kettle that brings itself to a boil at dawn, which the wizard is inordinately pleased with. He reports on efficiency improvements to the indifference of anyone listening.

A different wizard immediately forgets all details of his spells after he's written them. He could not begin to tell you how any of it works, at least not without sitting down for a few hours or days to figure out how he set things up. The point is that it works, and once it does, the wizard can safely stop thinking about it.

Wizards enjoy each other's company, but you must be circumspect about spellwork. Having another wizard look through your spellbook makes you aware of every minor flaw, and you might not be able to answer questions about why a spell was written in a certain way, if you remember at all.

Wizards all have their own preferences as far as which scripts they write in, the formatting of their spellbook, its dimensions and material quality, and of course which famous wizards they've taken the most foundational knowledge from. The enlightened view is that all approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, but this has never stopped anyone from getting into a protracted argument.

Sometimes a wizard will sit down with an ancient tome attempting to find answers to a complicated problem, and finally find someone from across time who was trying to do the same thing, only for the final note to be "nevermind, fixed it".

Update on my Vash sprite work! I've made a test sprite for the neutral/standard look, but the posture is still a bit stiff and I'm not super happy with the sweater, so I'll change that :) was a nice test run though! Some more sketches underneath what I could still do...its a lot, but I'd really love to do all? Best start for one standard, one complex animated one and then I have smth nice to show for my portfolio and can still do the others whenever I want to. (I also would really love to do a fake screenshot/short clip with background and all teehee)
